Just dandy, after years of dedicated service and having a substantial understanding of the needs in our communities, we now have new elected officials who will represent us, none of whom has the background knowledge of the people I voted for to represent my district. None of whom even resides in Benton County. So much for my vote and yours. All four redistricting commission voting members just happen to live on the west side of the state and seemingly know what's best for our community. Isn't that convenient!
